<p>I was the lead developer on this site for a reality / gameshow about video gamers for the Scifi Channel. Extensive use of CSS, PHP, JAVASCRIPT, and XML.</p>
<p>About the show:</p>
<p>Syfy, in partnership with Samsung and the World Cyber Games, presents an all-new reality competition series to find the &#8220;Best All-Around Gamer.&#8221; A diverse group of contestants embark on an intense and emotional journey in hopes of winning prizes that include $100,000 and the ultimate Samsung electronics package, complete with the company&#8217;s most advanced technology products. The winner will also be the face of WCG and represent the WCG at events around the globe including the 2009 Grand Final in China.</p>
<p>Co-hosted by Hannah Simone and Joel Gourdin, the series showcases twelve contestants who live together in a single loft in downtown Los Angeles. They will compete against each other in challenges that include traditional video game play as well as real-life video game simulations, which place the contestants in situations inspired by best-selling and world famous games. Throughout the competition, the ultimate gamer will need to excel both individually and with his or her teammates, have top-notch gamer skills and be able to handle the pressure of head-to-head elimination rounds played in an arena filled with hundreds of spectators. The ultimate gamer will also have to showcase their ability to navigate and manipulate a houseful of other die-hard gamers, all vying to be crowned number one.</p>
<p><em>WCG Ultimate Gamer</em> was created and executive produced by Michael Agbabian and Dwight D. Smith, both of <em>Phenomenon</em>, <em>Gameshow Marathon</em> and <em>Last Comic Standing</em> fame.</p>

<p>World Wrestling Entertainment and Syfy are teaming up to bring you the next generation of reality television with the debut of WWE <em>NXT</em>. In this hybrid live event/reality show, eight popular WWE superstars, including Matt Hardy, Chris Jericho and William Regal, will be paired with eight “Rookies” looking to learn the ropes and make their pro wrestling dreams come true.</p>
<p>They come from various walks of life – from former college basketball stars and firefighters to Harvard Law graduates and indie wrestling champions. They come from locations as exotic as South Africa, the United Kingdom and New Jersey. And they all have one goal: To be the king of the squared circle. Who will emerge victorious and claim his place in the WWE pantheon? You’ll have to watch <em>NXT</em>, premiering Tuesday, February 23 at 10/9c, to find out.</p>

<p>I created this screening room for thegame Mass Effect 2. It includes streaming video and css framework.This site also includes scrict age verification using PHP and Javascript and a few dynamic elements.</p>
<p>Tracking the page views, ad clicks, and sponsor click-throughs are essential for this kind of promotion. I accomplish this by intergrating a complex suite of dart tags, Omniture tracking, click trackers, redirection URLs, 1&#215;1 javascript events, and CSS hidden layers.</p>
<p>Icreate many of these screening rooms for video games, television shows and movies as a way for advertisers to show trailers, coming attractions, and create buzz about the product. Video is one of the best ways to capture and keep an audience on the web. I create so many of these campaigns that it now takes me a couple of hours from start to finish!</p>

<p>Alice is a new take on an the old story of Alice in Wonderland. It is one of many Syfy TV show websites I&#8217;ve developed and maintain for NBC. I am the Lead developer for this website. The main technologies involved are HTML, CSS, PHP, XML, Flash, and Streaming video.</p>
<p>About the show:</p>
<p>Using the classic Lewis Carroll books <em>Alice&#8217;s Adventures in Wonderland</em> and <em>Through the Looking-Glass</em> as a jumping off point, writer/director Nick Willing has created the modern-day story of Alice Hamilton (Caterina Scorsone), a fiercely independent twenty-something who suddenly finds herself on the other side of a looking glass. She is a stranger in an outlandish city of twisted towers and casinos built out of playing cards, all under the rule of the deliciously devilish Queen of Hearts (Oscar winner Kathy Bates) who&#8217;s not very happy about Alice&#8217;s arrival.</p>
<p>In the course of her adventure, Alice enlists the help of an array of characters including the resistance fighter Hatter (Andrew-Lee Potts), resistance leader Dodo (Tim Curry) and the White Knight (Matt Frewer).</p>
<p>Rounding out the stellar cast are Colm Meaney as the King of Hearts, Harry Dean Stanton as Caterpillar, Alessandro Juliani as 9 of Clubs, Timothy Webber as Carpenter, Alex Diakun as Ratcatcher, and Eugene Lipinski as Doctors Dee and Dum.</p>
<p>For this re-imagined adaptation, writer/director Nick Willing mines the bizarre ingenuity and twisted logic of Carroll&#8217;s work to create a daringly different, boldly colorful and delightfully skewed dreamscape of his own. Willing also directed the record-breaking, Emmy-winning miniseries <em>Tin Man</em> for Syfy in 2007. Serving as executive producers for this ambitious new event are Matthew O&#8217;Connor and Lisa Richardson from Reunion Pictures, Jamie Brown from Studio Eight and RHI Entertainment&#8217;s Robert Halmi Sr. and Robert Halmi Jr.</p>

It is one of many Syfy TV show websites I&#8217;ve developed and maintain for NBC. I am the Lead developer for this website. The main technologies involved are HTML, CSS, PHP, XML, Flash, and Streaming video.</p>
<p>This show is something of an experiment for Syfy and I think it is funny and refreshing. I believe it was an internet only series until it was picked up by the channel. I hope they come back for another season&#8230;</p>

<p>I updated and retrofitted website content. Implemented dynamic tracking for advertisers and worked on search engine optimization and Meta tags.</p>
<p>About the show:</p>
<p>In the fourth season of <em>Doctor Who</em>, <strong>David Tennant</strong> returns as the tenth incarnation of the last of the Time Lords, the enigmatic Doctor. For his latest adventures in time and space, he is joined on the TARDIS by Donna Noble, played by award-winning actress <strong>Catherine Tate</strong> (<em>The Catherine Tate Show</em>, BBC America), last seen on <em>Doctor Who</em> as the eponymous &#8220;Runaway Bride&#8221; at the beginning of the third season.</p>
<p>The Doctor and Donna will travel throughout history and the cosmos, reuniting with some old friends — and some old enemies, such as classic villains the Sontarans — and visiting great moments in history, from the end of Pompeii in &#8220;Volcano Day&#8221; to meeting famous mystery author Agatha Christie.</p>
<p>One of the old friends who will return this season is Dr. Martha Jones, played by <strong>Freema Agyeman</strong>. Having saved the world in &#8220;Last of the Time Lords,&#8221; she will rejoin the Doctor and meet Donna in the latter portion of the season. Plus, she&#8217;s not the only familiar face that will be seen in this star-studded, dramtic new season of Doctor Who on SCI FI!</p>
